NHS England, 24 January 2014
- NHS England has produced a toolkit called ‘Any town’, which using high level health system modelling, allows clinical commissioning groups to map how interventions could improve local health services and close the financial gap.
- Using 2013/14 as a baseline, ‘Any town’ uses detailed data including population size and disease prevalence, to predict what a typical health system’s quality and financial baseline may look like in 2018/19.
- The toolkit includes five connected modules:
- 1. A methodology guide which introduces the work of the Any town project and explains the principles and methodology behind the project and the model. It describes how the interventions were selected and the detailed methodology of how the model calculated the results
- 2. An urban model module
- 3. A suburban model module
- 4. A rural model module
- 5. A further information guide which provides information on the case studies used for the interventions. These guides are intended to provide a high-level ‘starter for ten’ to assist with initial planning.
